Working with the Environment
We recycle 100% of green waste
ALL our green waste is recycled, and such is the scale of our facility at Black Bourton, we also process waste from many of the region's businesses as well.
Most of the resulting woodchips are taken to the biomass power station at Slough where it is burnt to create electricity and heat for local homes and businesses.
Green Waste does not pollute the atmosphere or contribute to global warming.
We also provide woodchips for use in Biomass boilers, both domestic and commercial, via our sister company Cotswold Wood Fuels.
When it comes to our day-to-day operations, we try hard to minimise our impact on the environment:
- Biodiesel is used in most of our vehicles
- We use plant oil instead of mineral oil for chain lubrication in our chainsaws and hedge trimmers
- We use plant-based 2-stroke oil in our petrol mix for our chainsaws
Our extensive recycling plant at Black Bourton:
- Wood chipping in action
- Massive log store facility
